A friend of my father recently showed him a small collection of old pistols he'd acquired in an inheritance. Dad's friend isn't a shooter and knows nothing about guns, so my Dad asked me if I could help identify them. Unfortunatley, pre-WWII stuff isn't really my forte.

No. 2 is A Stevens Model 41, barrel lock missing. In top condition, maybe $300; as is, whatever you can get.

No. 3 is a Ruger Standard Model (not the Mk I). Appears to be reblued. Top if 100% would be about $175.

No. 4 is a CZ 27, which also appears to be reblued. The one shown is very common and runs only about $250+ in 100%.

No. 5 is a Webley Mk IV, with war finish, used as a substitute standard by the British in WWII. I would estimate value at $200 or less from what I can see.

No. 6 appears to be a S&W model 27 or 28. The Highway Patrolman is the Model 28, and it is a cheaper version of the Model 27. This gun also appears to have been reblued. If it is a Model 28, and in 100%, its value would be $270 or so. If it is reblued, it is worth whatever you can get for it (my guess would be $150).

The standard model, regardless of barrel length, was the garden variety Ruger .22 auto. The Ruger Mk I was the target model with adjustable sights and heavy barrel. When Ruger went to the Mk II, which has the slide stop, the old Mk I became the Mk II Target Model.
